The appeasement policy, in the international sphere, consists on making political or material concessions to an aggressive country or organization in order to avoid starting a conflict (war).

European Allied powers (UK and France, the Western democracies), during the 1930s, made territorial concessions to Hitler as, they were still in the aftermath of WWI and they wanted to avoid a new war by all means. After signing the Munich Agreement, also known as Munich Betrayal, in 1938, Hitler managed to obtain the Sudetenland in Czechoslovakia with no opposition from the allies. It is significant to mention that France even had a prior alliance with Czechoslovakia and dishonoured it when embracing this agreement.

Of course Hitler was not willing to stop with these annexations and, in the end, the Allied powers had to declare war to Germany as he continued with the territorial expansions unilaterally but, before, they had allowed Hitler to became stronger with no opposition.

They devised a new economic policy to ensure the profitability of the colonies as Europeans expanded their market reach into the colonial sphere. European perceptions of wealth from the 1500s to the late 1700s were shaped by the philosophy of mercantilism. Mercantilism held that there was only a limited amount of wealth in the world, as measured in gold and silver bullions. Nations had to amass wealth in order to gain power by mining these precious raw materials from their colonial possessions. Mercantilists did not believe in free trade, arguing instead that to create wealth and improve state power, the nation should control trade. Colonies existed to strengthen the colonizing nation in this view.
